Pinin owener, number count

[silly lily]

very, very surprised to hear about problems - I have had none. Not one! Use it everyday, offroad now and then (drove it even through the ocean in Ireland), all works as new, including the 4WD (actually tested it all yestrday, after reading a 'use it or loose it' post here). It's done 41k miles, but I 've only had it for a year now.

[Jamie Pinin]

mines done 103thousand tho, pinins when 1st made some were recalled, some been couple of thousand recall coz of the same problem, i lost count after about 15 times it cut out on my way home from work, which is 5miles, getting it sorted this weekend. Jamie

Righty ho Jamie, im back!

At the mo our pinin is a bogo standard 53 plate 5 door 2.0 warrior in silver and black
Not got massive plans for it this year but will do next year when she gets another mitsi to play in and i get to toy with this one,
Not really "off roaded" him yet, but have buggered about in muddy fields, decent streams and the like, Living just around the corner from "Specialist Leisure" in Wigan im really lookin forward to making him bigger and harder

Am thinkin of putting an induction kit on it soon, but dont know whether to  bother (usually home made affairs with tubing and big as possible pipercross filters, (any ideas people)

Anyhoo, ill get some pics taken this weekend after a marathon cleaning session and get um posted up asap!

[Jamie Pinin]

It's hard doing anything after the air filter, not a lot of room, don't know much, at the mo trying to make a snorkel, I won't advise it, look at the picture called, Pinin 002, from this link, this is what i'm going to do, look forward to seeing some pictures. Jamie

after a marathon cleaning session and get um posted up asap!

Hmmm - looks like that might be my job this weekend too

[Jamie Pinin]

Harry got your message, thanks for that, but they only work week days, Got my CB wirered in 2nite finished at half 11 on a friday night, it gave me a right big jump when I pluged the last wire in and it was switched at the loudest it could be. But I can't get a chance to use it. It going into the garage 2moro, to get repaired, well it's about time (for this month anyway), what chanel are you normaly on, I might be able to pick you up if i don't live that far away. Jamie

[craig]

Jamie are you coming to Kirton next weekend if the motor's fixed?

[Jamie Pinin]

I can't next weekend I'm driving down to the lake district, so it better be fixed, then the folowing weeks I can drive in the mud again i like the mud, well I'm getting the problem with the engine cutting out and the gear box leaking oil, but i just asked if he can find out whats wrong with the 4 wheel drive for now, I just want it done by thursday, if he doesn't know what is wrong it will take longer, he just squesed me in to his bookings, nice little man in his little garage, will let you know what goes on. Jamie

[Harry Flashman]

what chanel are you normaly on, I might be able to pick you up if i don't live that far away. Jamie

I think you're too far away old lad. I live just outside Bradford (south) and can reach 4 or 5 miles at best. I normally sit on channel 19.

[Jamie Pinin]

I'v been testing my CB out, I can pick up about 18mile thats what I think anyway. Jamie

[Harry Flashman]

Actually, today I could hear people chatting at Junction 26 M62 from the top of the Pennines (about 12 miles). Never tried calling them though.

[Jamie Pinin]

I think I'm getting about 18mile and also I'm getting another CB just the same for my sj so I will drive and test it. Jamie

[Jamie Pinin]

I think i bided on the wheels too. The standard bull bar attaches in a real odd place, you haveto take the grills out in the bumper, and then it goes around the skidplate. Well soundlike you'l soon be on your way through the woods. The waffle boards you have, how many times have you used them, do you think hey are worth while geting some. I could have before but didn't for some reason.

I think thats 5 Pinins now. Jamie

[stiperstones]

I use these waffle boards maybe 2 to 3 times a week with a company defender td5 these are my own they are 1400x400 x58 mm plastic the one's the company suplied were stainless steel heavy as xxxx they are a great asset dont forget to tie some rope has the can be quite  a handfull to extract. I work mostly in Wales but live in Shropshire. So off roading for me is on a daily bases i have been on all the landrover training days not experince days. If you ever get chance to go one go they are fantastic and really teach you what the capabilities of any 4x4 including some car darvatives.
